A sheriff who was appointed by Gov. DeSantis after a high school massacre appears to have lied when he didn’t disclose in his job application that he fatally shot another teenager when he was 14 and that he had used LSD, the state ethics commission found.
FILE - Acting Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony, right, speaks after being introduced by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, left, at the Broward County Sheriff's Office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Jan. 11, 2019. It appears Tony, appointed by Gov. DeSantis after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in February 2018, lied when he did not disclose he had fatally shot another teenager when he was 14 and that he had used LSD, the state ethics commission found on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022.
“While disappointed in the Commission’s action, my client looks forward to a swift finding of innocence,” Webster said in a statement. A Florida Department of Law Enforcement report issued earlier this year said Tony repeatedly lied on his police applications, including failing to disclose that he fatally shot an 18-year-old neighbor during a 1993 fight at his family's Philadelphia home. Tony was found to have acted in self-defense and acquitted, but the applications required the disclosure of all criminal arrests no matter the court decision.
